- “The Shape of Things That Came” by Richard Deming, Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, October 1951.
George Blades takes a trip from 1900 to 1950 (wearing his uncle’s time-nightshirt, of course), and upon his return, he chronicles the journey in fictional form, which he submits to his unbelieving editor.
I am concerned solely with potential reader reaction. The average reader simply won’t believe in your year 1950.
